Chapter 211 Moving forward on the path

"Why the hell doesn't it stop raining! God, you're going to get into trouble with me, right?"

On a mountain shelter from the rain next to Ziwu Valley, Ma Di raised his middle finger to the sky. He really didn't expect that this thief God would let the heavy rain keep falling in order to prevent him from committing suicide.

It has been almost a month since Ma Su entered Ziwu Valley. And it suddenly rained heavily, and it also rained for a month.

One month! Do you know how I got through this month? I feel like I'm going crazy with this group of people every day to learn Chinese and Chinese characters.

Of course, if it was just heavy rain, it would not have a big impact on Ma Su. At worst, walk slower and pass through Ziwu Valley carefully.

But as if against him, not only did the heavy rain not stop, the plank road in front was also washed away. Even if Ma Su wanted to move forward in the rain, he would not be able to move forward without a plank road.

And if you want to build a plank road in heavy rain, it is very difficult with Ma Su's manpower. Although they have traveled through time for several years, it is still impossible for the soldiers to risk their lives to repair the plank road.

If this continues, Prime Minister Zhuge will probably arrive in Hanzhong and take a nap. It's not too late to take a few days' rest and deal with official duties before arresting him.

Thinking about it, I have been planning for so long, and it took me two months to prepare to launch the Ziwu Valley Adventure. If he is captured again, he may not be able to participate in the next Northern Expedition.

"No! We still have to find a way to move forward!" Ma Su walked around in the military tent, feeling increasingly anxious day by day. At this moment, he couldn't find a place to go to the toilet and was running around in a hurry.

No matter what, I have to go to Guanzhong, right?

Fortunately, perhaps because of God's negligence, Ma Su's scouts brought back good news.

There is an even narrower road next to Ziwu Valley, which is only wide enough for one person to pass through. The end of the trail is still Ziwu Valley, and it still takes a detour, but it is enough to bypass the destroyed plank road.

Although this is very difficult and dangerous, it is enough for Ma Su.

The Shu army is good at traveling in the mountains. As long as they can follow the human mountain roads, the Shu army can pass through.

When he marched eastward to defeat Wu, Zhuge Liang took advantage of this characteristic of the Shu army. Attracting Lu Xun's attention from the front, he divided his troops and stole across the mountain road to smash Wu Bing's camp from the flank.

After some hesitation, Ma Su made the final decision.

"Such heavy rain has been going on for a month. If we make a surprise attack on Ziwu Valley now, we will definitely win. We can't wait any longer. We must take a small path to bypass the plank road and continue moving forward!"

"General! No!" Liu Yin was shocked and quickly admonished him.

"The path is too narrow for horses to pass through. If we only lead infantry to sneak attack Ziwu Valley, it will be difficult to pose a threat to the Wei army."

"If the general is unwilling to retreat, he will have to wait for the heavy rain to pass and repair the plank road before we can continue to move forward!"

"It's okay if you don't bring a horse. I, Ma Su, am not afraid of fighting on foot." Ma Su waved his hand. He already had a plan now that he had made a decision.

"It will take several days to repair this small section of plank road in front of us. It is obvious that there cannot be only one damaged place in the entire 600-mile stretch of Ziwu Valley."

"If you repair it bit by bit, when will it be achieved?"

"I have given up. I will personally lead my two thousand soldiers and horses to continue northward on a small road. When I encounter a damaged part of the plank road, I will go around it and go to Guanzhong to fight first!"

…………

Ma Su acted very decisively. He decided to take a small road at night and set off during the day the next day.

Although he disapproved of Ma Su's risk, Liu Yin still took the initiative to ask for orders to follow him. The newly joined Jiang Wei also expressed his willingness to follow Ma Su in a surprise attack on Guanzhong.

However, Ma Su did not bring any of these two people. Both of them stayed behind to oversee three thousand soldiers and horses in Hanzhong. After the rain stopped, they could slowly build the plank road and follow them.

After making arrangements, Ma Su took his troops and horses on a small road and continued northward in the rain.

At the same time, Xia Houba led Cao Wei's engineering team and finally built the plank road to the place where Ma Di's troops were stationed.

"General, after building this section of the plank road, we will only be a hundred miles away from the entrance of Ziwu Valley. The road ahead will be a relatively wide mountain road, and there will be no plank road to hinder it." Several guides pointed the direction to Xiahouba. .

"Is the cultivation almost finished?" Xiahou Ba was almost crying, it was finally over.

Since entering the heavy rain range, Wei Jun can walk twenty miles a day, which is very good. Basically, after walking two steps, the plank road breaks down, and then you have to stop and repair it.

As a pioneer, Xiahouba worked on the engineering team for more than half a month. Hundreds of people in his tribe died due to overwork and cold.

If he didn't still have the belief to avenge his father, Xiahou Ba would really want to return to Guanzhong.

"Soldiers! Keep up the good work! Let's finish repairing the plank road here!" Xiahou Ba waved his hand and ordered to the soldiers who were hopeless and about to die from exhaustion.

"General, why don't we take a rest? If this continues, the soldiers will be exhausted..." The lieutenant said with a little worry as he looked at the soldiers who were all sallow and thin and almost exhausted.

"Take a rest after finishing this section!" Xiahou Ba waved his hand.

"That's all that's left. As long as we fix it, we won't have to do this shit anymore!"

At this moment, Xiahou Ba was like an old general on the stage, with flags all over his body.

Then Wei Jun continued to build the plank road in full swing, and finally connected the last section of the plank road when it was getting late.

For a moment, the Wei army officers and soldiers cheered, celebrating that the hard days were finally over.

And as if to praise their efforts, the heavy rain that had been pouring began to gradually taper off.

Xiahou Ba's vision began to become clearer, and it was obvious that the road was not that difficult.

Everything has become so beautiful, even the mountains next to Ziwu Valley are faintly showing red spots...

etc? red?

Xiahou Ba suddenly turned around and suddenly realized something was wrong, but it was obviously too late.

"kill!!"

Suddenly, the sound of killing on the mountains on both sides of Ziwu Valley shook the sky, and countless arrows suddenly fell from the sky. Wei Jun, who was completely unprepared and about to fall down from exhaustion, had no time to react.

The Wei soldiers at the front were all shot to the ground. Xiahou Ba was pushed to the ground by his own soldiers, and he barely escaped the baptism of arrows under him.

In summary, the heavy rain has become lighter. Is it to facilitate the Shu army's archery?

"The Pseudo-Wei is such a good man. He even built the plank road for us! The soldiers continue to shoot arrows and thank our friends in the north!"

Liu Yin stood on a high hill and commanded the Shu army to fire arrows wildly. Watching Wei Jun being shot below, he cried for his father and mother. He wanted to run around but found that the road was narrow and there was nowhere to hide. When he fell down the valley, he showed a happy smile.

"General Jiang, your Majesty has set off, it's your turn now!"
